Pacific Plastic Surgery Group in Vancouver is well known for providing aesthetic treatments that enhance natural beauty and restore youthfulness. Among our treatments, Radiesse stands out as a leading option for those seeking effective anti-aging results for sagging skin and severe facial wrinkles. Learn more about the Radiesse treatment, ideal candidates, and what to expect regarding recovery.

What is Radiesse?

Radiesse dermal filler is made from FDA-approved calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. It’s specially designed to provide immediate volume restoration and stimulate the body’s natural collagen and elastin production over time, offering long-lasting results and a more youthful appearance. 

How Does Radiesse Work?

When Radiesse is injected, it immediately adds volume to depleted areas, helping to smooth out some wrinkles and fine lines. The key component, calcium hydroxylapatite, adds volume and promotes the body’s natural collagen production, enhancing skin firmness and elasticity. As the gel carrier dissolves gradually, the durable collagen matrix formed continues to support the skin structure, prolonging the aesthetic benefits.

Who is a Good Candidate for Radiesse?

Candidates for this injectable treatment often include those in their 40s to 60s looking for options to rejuvenate their facial appearance and improve their skin health. During a detailed consultation at our Vancouver clinic, our specialists assess each patient’s skin condition and discuss their aesthetic goals to determine if Radiesse is the most suitable treatment for you. Radiesse is ideal for individuals facing common signs of aging, such as:

  • Loss of facial volume or facial fat loss
  • Deepening nasolabial folds (smile lines)
  • Marionette lines
  • Sagging near the jawline
  • Facial wrinkles and creases

Downtime and Recovery

A significant benefit of Radiesse is its minimal downtime. Patients may experience temporary swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection sites, but these effects typically fade within a few days. Most patients return to their normal activities immediately following the procedure, making it an excellent option for those with busy schedules who cannot afford lengthy recovery times.h busy schedules who cannot afford lengthy recovery times.

What areas can be treated with Radiesse?

How should I prepare for a Radiesse treatment?

Before receiving Radiesse injections, it's important to consult with a qualified provider to discuss your medical history and any medications you are taking.
